With just five linebackers on the roster, that was one position the Tampa Bay Bucs looked to add a body for depth. On Sunday, the Bucs picked up linebacker Zac Diles, who was released by the St. Louis Rams on Saturday.

Diles, 26, played at Kansas State while Bucs coach Raheem Morris was the defensive coordinator.

Diles has made 30 starts, all with the Houston Texans. The 6-foot-2, 245 pounder had 82 tackles with the Texans in 2010. He joined the Rams during the offseason but did not make the initial 53.

The Bucs are not done making moves, as they will have will have release a player for the Diles’ signing. Also, the club will continue to monitor the waiver wire and make some practice squad additions.
